TBF a bit, that particular player grew like 2-3 inches and was one of the biggest unknowns in history. Put on like 40 pounds.
Right, which can happen for Dieng, for example. It’s hard to predict. And fwiw I’m not implying that I think it will or that I’m behind picking him. I know little about him.
I realize players like Giannis don’t grow on trees. It’s interesting to look back and see that 14 teams passed on him and to be reminded the draft is such a crapshoot.

I have Dieng 18th on my board. Among guys like Jalen Williams, Mark Williams, Dalen Terry, Jaden Hardy, and Ochai Agbaji.

Giannis was seen as having a ceiling of what he has become. He was also seen as possibly being another gigantic Euro-bust like a Bargnani or a Nikoloz Tskitishvili.
That last one? 5th overall to the Nuggets in 2002. He looked great in drills and had good measurable but it turns out he couldn’t play. At all.
Playing against a third or fourth tier competition in Greece made it very hard to figure out if he was that good or if he was just playing against shite.
